I think the main reason is, that he wanted Trelawney to keep at 
Hogwarts. Umbridge would have hired a new teacher, who would have 
need Trelawney's room, but Firenze doesn't. The moment Trelawney 
would leave Hogwarts, Death Eaters would probably try to kidnap her, 
in hope to find out the full prophecy, or in case she makes another 
prophecy. After all, Dumbledore risked a fiendship with the other 
centaurs, and I think he wouldn't done this, if there wasn't a really 
good reason.
